There will be more

[lightning1000]

So is that just the first batch of day tickets and will there be more on sale later? Thanks

Yup, it seems more will be going on sale at the usual time. Normally a couple of months before the festival.

[Ipayne]

Great, thank you guys!

See Nova Rock have made some announcements

Lot of acts who I wonder would fit in now like Gaslight Anthem, All Time Low, Frank Turner, Lamb of God.

Think they could play 4th down main? sub second stage?

Gaslight to sub second stage to BSC?

Lamb of God to sub second to Manson?

All Time Low under ADTR?

Frank Turner under Slash?

Surely all time low would be above adtr? I reckon they won't play.

Hey lucky, I think a lot could play , although I can't see Frank Turner playing. I reckon Billy idol under slash and rise against under adtr. The others I'd put where you have.

[dentalplan]

Dunno. They all seem too big for the available slots.

Could see the likes of Lamb of God or other acts you'd expect in bigger slots taking a remaining slot as there might not be anywhere else in the UK for them to play but I'd say ATL, Frank Turner, Gaslight and perhaps Rise Against could show up at the end of summer for Reading and Leeds instead.

[luckysalt]

Turner had a high profile slot at Reading on main in 2013, you reckon he'll be back in 2015?

He could end up anywhere really I guess.

Im not too fussed about any of them, Lamb of God are always welcome however.

Id like Rise Against though, im still to see them. The others Ive all seen.

[lightning1000]

Yeah out of that list I'd go for rise against, missed their last tour. Always been good when I've seen them. Last time Frank played he headlined 3rd stage. But since then he's got waay bigger. I'd say in this country he's easily bigger than both ffdp and adtr, can't see where he'd fit.

With his new album coming out Id say Frank Turner is destined for a top 3 spot and Reading and leeds.

Are all of the acts announced playing the main stage? just found out Im going and wondered if any are 2nd stage headliners.

Black Stone Cherry, Marilyn Manson and Enter Shikari are 2nd stage headliners.

Hmm thats some annoying clashes.

I'm intrigued to find out how you 'just found out you were going' ?

[theramm]

Lots of bands about Euro fests that you’d think would get decent Download spots –

Incubus, Gaslight, ZZ Top, Frank Turner, Lamb of God, Alice Cooper, Motorhead, Rise Against, All Time Low, In Flames.

Now we know Sonisphere is happening & R&L will likely put a bunch of ‘Download friendly’ bands on the Metallica day (at least) I wonder who’ll end up where?

Edited December 1, 2014 by theramm

[atomised]

Where has it been confirmed that soni is on

[luckysalt]

I haven't heard anything other than Sonisphere saying they are trying to do a fest, heard that before and nothing happens.

IOW are going with at least 1 rock headliner it seems

[atomised]

Thats all i thought id heard to be fair. Id be stunned right now if soni happens

[theramm]

Someone on the Download forums posted a photo of an interview with the Sonisphere guys which states it's taking place weekend of July 3rd.

[luckysalt]

I saw that, but doesn't mean it is. Someone also said they've booked hotels in the area.

You have to think Soni is owned by this new group in Germany and all they've announced so far, all the headliners for those fests are playing different fests in the UK. If it was going ahead you'd imagine the UK edition would have at least one. I can't think who they would grab at UK soni, GNR maybe, not much more acts on the scene this year.

[gary1979666]

You'd also think that if they were going to announce something for 2015, they'd have something out there by now, given Download and R&L have announced already.

Would love it to go ahead, as not bowled over by DL (though will see how the days line up).

[atomised]

Id certainly say that unless they diversify they will struggle for headliners

[jump]

Well have struggled, hence why it's been canned a few times now.

[Englishdragon]

I'm intrigued to find out how you 'just found out you were going' ?

I dont particulary go to festivals based on the line up, its more to do with what my friends were doing.

I said I wanted to go to Download but It didnt suit everyone elses shedule, got a call last Wednesday to say my mates plans have changed and we are all going now.

[Moey]

that's a result then.

my main dilema at the moment is whether to try to convince the wife to go with me and our mates or not. Tough call !

Just checked the novotel which is right by the entrance and that's fully booked on the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th of July
